The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

#Quantel came up 1981 with the #Paintbox DPB-7001. It was the first 68K CPU based #digital-painting, #imagegediting solution that challenged big players like #Scitex #Crossfield #Hell. Next time #Xerox #SuperPaint became important it was in legal defense for #AdobePhotoshop.

However, the #vector #graphic #illustration of the #legendary #DPB7001 #retrocomputing #hardware and #GUI are made with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #CC

I ❤️ #Frankentoon’s Runny Fine Liner from his #Splat #comics #illustration kit. It might be the most perfect digital liner ever 🥹. The textures are experimentation with #truegrittexturesupply’s fantastic #BeatTones #halftone set and #daubbrushes’s outstanding #Paintbox set (his painting brushes overall are 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽). #doodle #illustration #dead #vintage #retrostyle #cartoon #artwork #vintageart #illustration #skullart #skulls #skulldrawing #iPadPro #digitalart #AffinityDesigner #sketch #ArpComics

Hey, today is Quantel's 50th birthday! Go check out my video as well as @DextersTechLab 's videos where he fixes up Quantel hardware. He contributed footage for my video, and he's done some wild stuff to get these old machines working again.

New video! A decade before Adobe #Photoshop, one company made a bespoke computer whose artistic capabilities helped define the look of 80s and 90s TV shows, music videos, and print media. So why don't we call digital photo manipulation "being Paintboxed?"

I got a chance to use the Quantel Paintbox at #VCFEast. This was a Wacom and Photoshop precursor that is ridiculously powerful. I learned it was used for a lot of famous artwork and videos in the 80s and 90s. I made a drawing of Topaz, and the printout is a video capture of the image printed to a photo printer. #quantel #paintbox

It feels odd that I haven't yet posted any #crochet pictures as it's my main creative outlet. My main obsession over the last couple years has been designing and making #amigurumi bears. I have to be a bit careful with how many I do and break it up with shawls, blankets, jumpers etc as my hands don't love it but here are a few of my favourites (designs are all by me and my go to yarn is #paintbox cotton). Most are made as gifts for family/friends or just because I fancy a challenge

Close up picture of two tan coloured crochet bears seated on an outside patio table with greenery in the background. the front queen inspired bear has a purple and gold crown with bead details and a white fluffy trim as well as a bead purl necklace, a blue sash and purple robe with white fur trim. The bear further back is modelled on a UK Palace Guard and has a tall fluffy back hat, red jacket with bead and gold details and black boots
